Title: Improved Mounting for the Cylindrical Cutters of Skiving Machines.
Inventor: SALMON JOHN BOURKE
IPC: C14B1/00
Filed: 1911-11-28
Granted: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 26,632. Salmon, J. B., Roy, E. W., and Glendining, R. Nov. 28. Skiving.-To lengthen the life of the cylindrical cutter of a skiving-machine, a supplementary mounting is provided to replace the ordinary disk mounting when the cutter has been worn down so far as to be on the point of being scrapped. After being removed from the disk mounting, the cutter 7 is screwed on to a cup-shaped mounting 1, which is secured by screws 2 to the end 3 of the driving-spindle 4. The mounting 1 is sufficiently deep to enable the cutter to be fed forward on to the usual feed-roller 8 until it is worn down to its threaded portion. The mounting 1 may comprise a number of pieces, and, in a modified construction, may be internally threaded to receive the cutter. Specification 14,782/00 is referred to.

Abstract: 9601. Bautzner Industriewerk. May 2, 1912, [Convention date]. Guillotine type. - In clamping-apparatus of the type in which the clamp is applied to the work through connexions comprising compressible springs, the springs are not compressed when the clamp is in its highest position, but are, on engagement of the clamp with the work, gradually compressed to a maximum before the knife engages the work and then gradually relaxed during the further descent of the knife. A clamp 2 is reciprocated by linkwork connexion with a bar 18 which is reciprocated horizontally through springs 1 from a bar 5 reciprocated through links 6 and gearing 7, 14 from a shaft 9, which also operates the knifebar 3 through links 12, 13. The links 12, 6 are so positioned relatively to each other that the bar 5 moves to relax the compression of the springs 1 and consequently the clamping pressure during the progress of the knife through the work. It is stated that the relaxation of the springs assists in the raising of the knife and clamp.

Abstract: 10,555. Arndt, M. May 5. Actuating; regulating rate of flow. - The outlet valve of a radiator is controlled by a thermostatic capsule containing a liquid and provided with an adjustment stem and pointer. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 5, the capsule e is adjusted by means of a screw S, which has a handle W and a pointer y moving over a scale X<1>, and bears against a cup n fitting loosely in a ring o supported on a spring F<1>, which rests on a projection in the casing. A stem g, to which the capsule e is secured, passes into the cup n, and has a collar p and a spring F<2> which bears against the ring o and a disk r on the stem. If the temperature of the heating-medium is above that at which the thermostat has been set, the valve v is closed, and the stem g moves into the cup against the action of the spring F<2>. Baffleplates are provided to cause the medium to pass around the capsule. In another arrangement shown in Fig. 6, the adjustment stem 24 has a screwed hollow part 20, in which a single spring is arranged, which bears against two disks 17, 18 to prevent the spring from turning when the stem 24 is adjusted. The disk 17 bears against the stem 12 on the capsule, which, in the form shown, is closed by two caps 8<a>, 8<b>. The scale has an abutment pin 31 and a pin 42 for securing the pin in any position. The stem 24 has a passage 25 closed by a screw 33 to allow the escape of air. An adjusting-ring 40 is placed on the stem 24 to facilitate setting when the parts are assembled, the pointer 29 indicating the maximum temperature when the ring 40 and the surface 41 of the casing are in contact. The casing is in two flanged parts, I, II, secured by a cap 39, a metal ring and packing being interposed between the cap and the flanges.

Granted: 1914-06-17
Abstract: 14,043. Sandycroft, Ltd., and Dutton, T. M. June 17. Link-work.-Controlling-means for electric motors comprise a pair of variable liquid resistances operated by means of a fluid-pressure device through link-work so that the forward movement of a member causes the movable part of one resistance to be raised and then lowered during the latter part of the stroke simultaneously with the raising of the movable part of the other resistance. The movable screens of the resistances 30, 31 are connected by crossheads 32, 33 and vertical rods 34, 35 to links 36, 37 connected to arms 38, 39 operated by link-work from the member 13, which is in the form of a frame and carries cams 40, 41, the latter being adjustable. The arms 38, 39 are mounted fast on rock-shafts 42, 43 mounted on the sides of the tanks, and the shaft 42 carries a crank 44 keyed fast to it and connected by a link 45 with one arm of a bell-crank lever 46, which is loose upon the shaft 43 and has its other arm connected by a link 47 with the middle of a lever 48, which is pivoted at one end on the cam 40 and at the other end has a slot in which works a pin carried by one arm of a bell-crank lever 49, which is keyed to the shaft 43 and has its other arm connected by a link 50 with one arm of a bell-crank lever 51, which is loose upon the shaft 42 and has on the end of its other arm a roller 52, which rides over the surface of the cam 40. The other cam 41 co-operates with a roller 53 carried by the bell-crank lever 49 at the end which works in the slot in the lever 48. The operation of the link-work is first to raise the arm 38 and increase the resistance in the tank 30 and then to lower the arm 38 to decrease this resistance, while simultaneously raising the arm 39 to decrease the resistance in the tank 31. The amount of overlap of the resistance in the tank 31 over the point at which the controlling- means of the tank 30 has been returned to its initial position is regulated by the adjustable cam 41.

Abstract: 14,868. Fabiani, P., and Agnelli, C. June 28, 1912, [Convention date]. Apparatus for discharging bodies from a height; anchoring.-A device for dropping bombs or other loads from air-ships &c. without causing sudden reaction or shock to the ship, adaptable also for anchoring, comprises a drum 11 from which a rope carrying the bomb &c. is adapted to unwind and a brake disk 6 acting on the drum with a pressure which is gradually diminished as the rope unwinds. The braking- pressure is produced by a spring 1 abutting against a threaded piece 5, which, controlled by guides 8, traverses the threaded shaft 4 of the drum as this rotates. The piece 5 is brought to its initial position with the spring at maximum compression by the gearing 2, 3. The drum is held against unwinding by a catch 15. A conical drum with the rope arranged to start unwinding from the smaller end thereof may be used. For anchoring, the rope carries an anchor and the arrangement is so modified that the brake pressure increases as the rope unwinds. The bomb or load is released after the unwinding by means of a slip-hook attachment for the end of the rope to the drum, or by the operation of an electro-magnetically-controlled device connecting the bomb &c. to the rope. The firing of the bomb at the moment of release mav also be effected by an electrn-magnetic device. These devices may be operated at the breakage of the circuit by the tearing away from their connexions with the drum of conductors arranged in the rope, or by the completion of the circuit by a contact device 17, one member of which is carried by the travelling piece 5. Brush contacts 18, 19 are provided for introducing the current into the conductors in the rope.
